Easy Come Easy Go…….BOOM!


Gentleman, consider a lightning protection system for your home..You can bet my rebuild will have a very good one.

National Weather Service recorded a 63,000 amp strike on my property.

Full replacement value. Starting over

We all got out safe

Was your house at a relatively higher elevation? No other taller buildings, etc nearby?

@eisen0169 That is, of course, excellent advice. The problem I have here is that half the time lightning rolls in I’m either in bed or away and not expecting it. Not to mention the times when power goes out for reasons that have nothing to do with storms.

Given the likelihood of lightning strikes near by, plus everything else I keep everything I care about on excellent surge protection devices AND if I’m traveling or aware of incoming storms I also take the time to disconnect the equipment.

Also, in the case of the OP, unplugging all of his devices wouldn't have done him any good at all!
